Any numbers for demons souls? I feel we haven't had any.

[sircaw]

Well deserved, amazing piece of hardware with the best lineup of games out there.


Now if i could only get my hands on one

 

[waquzy]

PS5 is a beast

The greatest console ever released IMO

 

[Amory]

 

[SlimySnake]

First to 10 million wins, right?

Did the Wii win?

 

[SaucyJack]

Did the Wii win?

Well yes, it did.

But you might be aware that the quote comes from MS when the 360 hit 10 million.

 

[Vognerful]

Congrats!

 

[Unknown?]

Best PS home console launch in units and software! The games they have available so far puts PS4 to shame.

 

[waquzy]

20

Makes you wonder how high that could be without supply constraints, wild

20 million

get signed up to stock informer discord. I have been able to get a few from there for friends.

 

[Maxwell Jacob Friedman]

10 million in 8 months, pack it in everyone, its over. Also 10 million 8 months! Imagine where they would be at now with no slow down of consoles and the pandemic etc...

 

[GymWolf]

And the fucker on the left think that this is not enough to make nextgen only games.

 

[normalguy09x]

You're welcome. Now start selling them inside physical stores so they can start becoming easier to get.

 

[MasterCornholio]

And the fucker on the left think that this is not enough to make nextgen only games.

They still are though.

 

[Bartski]

How about curren gen only games now Jimbo, or is that still bad for business?

 

[GymWolf]

They still are though.

Dude if horizon 2 and gow started the developing a bit later they would not come out before 2022-2023 and you can do the math about how many ps5 sony is gonna sold in another 1-2 year, 10 milions is a fake number but it's already a big number.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

• Marvel's Spider-Ma, Miles Morales : + 6.5M (4.1M sold through as of Dec 31, 2020)
• MLB The Show 21 : + 2M
• Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart : + 1.1M
• Returnal : 560K

Really surprised on that Returnal number seems really low

 

[fran.fernandez]

Golden buzz

 

[Marcus Aurelius]

another gen for sony?

Was this ever a question?

 

[Bryank75]

As of July 18th.....2 weeks later than I thought they would hit it.

There is certainly a level of unpredictability with production and supply. If it had been constant, they would have hit 10 in June.

 

[jroc74]

Sony not fucking around....

10 million?? And this is with shortages??

 

[Marcus Aurelius]

Also selling MUCH faster than Switch which doesn't have supply defecits.

 

[Magnific0giganticus]

Really surprised on that Returnal number seems really low

It must be higher, he probably has launch data for those games except Spider-Man.

 

[Chiggs]

Incredible start for Sony. There's no stopping them.

 

[Rossco EZ]

Well deserved, amazing piece of hardware with the best lineup of games out there.


Now if i could only get my hands on one

fingers crossed you get one soon fishy

 

[Labadal]

Great numbers. Good for Sony. The industry seems to be in a great shape, and all three competitors seem to be doing well.

 

[Saber]

Thats...some impressive feat.

Congratz then. Hope the people who couldn't pick one have a chance to pick it someday.

 

[RaptorGTA]

surprise they pushed that many out. Good job....keep pumping them out until they're easy to find.

 

[Heisenberg007]

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Solid.

[RCU005]

I’m before: “But more than half of them are sitting in scalpers’ basements” LOL

I wonder how sales would be if there wasn’t a Pandemic, or even better, if the pandemic was over. I actually think that the demand wouldn’t be as high if the Pandemic didn’t happen, but if the pandemic was over and people could get out to stores to buy the console, probably the demand would be even higher.

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

I don't have time for that crap, that is stupid how we still have to follow some moron on Twitter or some bot on Discord just to tell us the PS5 will be out of stock by the moment you even attempt to try and get one. Like I said when I can go to Walmart at 12 AM and pick up a PS5 then I would say. Wow, the PS5 is selling so much because I got one

You could always pre-order and be on a waiting list. I mean, they sell as many as they can produce so what more can be done?

 

[MasterCornholio]

Do you believe that Sony won't make PS5 exclusive games?

 

[retsof624]

Beautiful, now give us a Horizon release date

 

[Kokoloko85]

First to 10 million wins, right?

Did the Wii win?

Umm Yes if you count the Wii as the same console generation as the 360 and PS3

( Which I dont lol, thats when Nintendo went away and did there own thing from then onwards, Wii, Wii U and Switch are not competition to PS3/PS4/PS5 - 360/X1/XBseries S-X. It was at least half the price of the competition and half the technical power too)

But 360 got to 10 million before PS3 and the PS3 ended up selling just a bit more even though the 360 was on the market 1 year before the PS3

 

[mejin]

For the first 3 quarters:

-PS5: + 10.2 million
-PS4 : 10.2 million
-Wii : 9.27 million
-Switch : 7.63 million
-3DS : 6.68 million
-Xbox Series X+S : 6.5 million
-Xbox One : 5.7 million
-Xbox 360 : 5 millions
-PS3 : 4.32 million
-Wii U : 3.61 million

For the first 3 quarters:

-PS5: + 10.2 million
-PS4 : 10.2 million
-Wii : 9.27 million
-Switch : 7.63 million
-3DS : 6.68 million
-Xbox Series X+S : 6.5 million
-Xbox One : 5.7 million
-Xbox 360 : 5 millions
-PS3 : 4.32 million
-Wii U : 3.61 million

Playstation numbers are sold through, Xbox are shipped numbers.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Well yes, it did.

But you might be aware that the quote comes from MS when the 360 hit 10 million.

Lol I didnt know Ms came up with that quote. Sounds about typical coming from them.

Plus the PS3 ended up selling more than the 360 even though the 360 was on the Market a year before the PS3…

 

[GymWolf]

Do you believe that Sony won't make PS5 exclusive games?

No, but 3 of their biggest titles are already crossgen and that piss me off greatly, and we don't know how many are gonna be in the end, for what we know, spidey 2 and tsushima 2 are both crossgen until they say otherwise, with fucking jimbo you never know.

No offense but stuff like gt7, horizon and gow sequel are severe order of magnitude more important than any returnal, demons remake or ratchet game so for now we can officially say that the biggest games from sony are ALL crossgen, you can be good about it, but some of us bought the ps5 to have fully nextgen experiences.

I actually think that the demand wouldn’t be as high if the Pandemic didn’t happen, but if the pandemic was over and people could get out to stores to buy the console, probably the demand would be even higher.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if a good 100,000 are actually sitting in scalper basements though. There are loads on Japanese reseller sites here and Japan probably didn't get a great supply as it is.

Scalper prices are slowly but surely coming down, but not quite close enough to retail price that scalpers will give up. My worry is that this whole automated bot scalping thing is going to be the new normal from now on, regardless of how many units are produced, COVID or no COVID. Part of the problem is that the people who scalp them have little/zero risk. As long as they're unopened they can just return them within a certain time frame for a full refund.

Would be cool if retailers could implement policies like "this product is designated as a high-risk reseller item. We will not be accepting returns/refunds on these items except for device defects". They probably can't do it because of consumer protection laws but it's still annoying.

Sony right now

 

[Haggard]

k.

At this point this only means that Sony can produce more than MS, though.

 

[MasterCornholio]

I can't even think how they've managed to produce so much.

By buying many wafers ahead of time. Plus the chip isn't that massive so they can get plenty of chips out of each wafer.
